I was the second manager of this theater (1972 – 1976). Both sides had 350 seats. We ran the only reserved seat presentation (Man of La Mancha) to be presented in Greeley in #1. I was there during the transition from Cooper Foundation to Cooper-Highland. Later was made City Manager for Cooper-Highland in Coloraldo Springs. Later still was Northwestern Area Manager for Commonwealth Threatres in Boise, ID (Boise, Great Falls & Salt Lake City. While in Greeley, we operated the Colorado Theatre, Chief Theatre, Cooper Twin Threare, and Wilshire Twin Threatre. The merger with Highland added a Drive In Theatre (can’t remember the name).

Before being operated by Commonwealth (as mentioned in the intro above) this was run by The Cooper Foundation (1970-74) and Cooper-Highland (1975-78). Commonwealth Amusement acquired the Cooper properties in ‘78.

The Cooper Twin opened on February 25, 1970. The debut attractions were “Funny Girl” and “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.” According to an article in The Greeley Daily Tribune, published around the time the theater opened, this was the first twin theater built in Colorado.
